Authorisation for waste water from façade cleaning

If you use chemical cleaning agents to clean your outdoor areas (facades, underground car parks), you will need a wastewater disposal permit.

Description

A permit must be obtained for the discharge of wastewater from façade cleaning into the municipal sewer. You have two options to choose from in the application:

  • Object authorisation:Authorisation to discharge wastewater from the cleaning of an object (façade, underground car park, etc.).
  • Annual authorisation (5 years):This is valid for 5 years until revoked and is independent of the property. During this period, cleaning work for individual properties can simply be registered by e-mail.

Background

Cleaning work on façades using high-pressure cleaners or chemical cleaning agents produces heavily contaminated wastewater that must not seep into the ground and may only be discharged into the municipal sewers after adequate pre-treatment.

The same applies if material is removed by high-pressure water jets for other purposes, for example during the renovation of underground car parks.

Required documents

You have two options to choose from in the application:

  • Object authorisation:
    Authorisation to discharge wastewater from the cleaning of an object (façade, underground car park, ...).

Alternatively, an application can be submitted by post. The required application form can be found below.
